Duct tape heals all wounds

I thought it was only required that they be unsprung, not required that they be new? I might be wrong on that one though :dunno

Check this baby out:

It's a 5 speed, $800 but is in really good mechanical shape with lots of stuff already done to it. It's a bit of a "beater" cosmetic wise, but hey it looks like it runs great!

What BOGS meant was when you take it to state patrol you just have to have airbags in it that have not been deployed, not necessarily new. Unfortunately I am not that up on Washington airbag law, but it might be worth asking if you just have to have non-deployed airbags or if they have to be certified new.

I'm pretty sure used is fine. Have to have receipt for them though.

Yes, what they said, I am not aware of any state that requires they be new, just undeployed, i.e. working or never been used. YMMV, though, your states requirements may be different.

I just picked up a 95 3/5 hb with 150k miles on it for $1500. The 2nd gear syncro's are bad, it needs a tune-up, and has low compression (130 psi across the all 3 cylinders). I suspect the low compression is due to built up carbon. Nothing a good Seafoam treatment can't fix eh?

Built up carbon will raise compression. Seafoam can't do anything about worn down metal.

ah well, I'll do some maintenance on the car and see what happens. Gonna change the trans fluid and a few other things this morning before I head down to pay it off. I'm sooo not looking forward to doing another DRL bypass.

Why? It takes less than a minute...

the last time I did it it took me an hour because I was confused about the wire colors (I'm partially color blind and the colors were faded)

I think I went off a similar pic last time and still ended up being confused (but got the job done right).
